NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024. Link to daily mail article, which funnily points out a supermarket on the other side of the roundabout to the Silver Spoon factory. If they have stopped a product it doesn’t matter if I seek a product elsewhere as no matter what they wouldn’t be getting the money….. Unless their shops are anti-social physical manifestations of psychological persuasion techniques, houses of economy of scale and dens of market dominance, so they think that I don’t really have a choice and I’ll just by something else from them. Update – right, remember a few months ago Tesco was reported as stopping 30% of its products. Well I wrote to ole Dave and asked him about the reasoning and what products they were going to stop etc. Here’s his response “In a big superstore we have more than 25% of items that either don’t sell or a single unit a week and taking up space from the lines most people want and they leave disappointed. We are reducing this customers don’t want and increase space for things that they do.” So there you go, although I don’t believe that Tesco finest cheese flat bread didn’t sell.

NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives Blancmange is delicious all on its own or served with various toppings, for example, berry coulis (the recipe is below).

They are back!

Nah, this time I will start with Sainsbury’s because it has really really annoyed me. Look at these: Pour almond milk and heavy cream into asaucepan. Add sugar and vanilla pod (photo 3), bring to a boil, and let it simmer for a few minutes. We were at the stage of screaming “Arrrrrh what to do? Where to go???????” I had tried complaining over the phone only to be fobbed off with numerous unacceptable excuses. I was at my wit’s end and then came along my “Knight” or should I say “Cow” in shiny armour to my rescue! To make blanc-manger,soak gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes. Split thevanilla beanin half, lengthwise.

But its availability didn’t last. I guess few customers tried it (it was a lucid pink colour), though everyone who tried it at my house liked it (all grown-ups, all stoners 😉 ). Make sure to mix a little whipped cream with the main preparation before putting it in the whipped cream to incorporate well.Then pour the blancmange into the whipped cream. Gently mix by lifting the mixture with the whisk (photo 5). Decorate your blanc-manger with mango ribbons or wedges, fresh pomegranate or kumquats, half of the canned or fresh apricot, pineapple, or kiwi cut into cubes.
